Check out NZ post YouShop.... They give you a US addressfor your shopping then they ship it over here. I haven't used it yet, but it looks good.
Yep, I'm signed up with them. Still no good for Ahlusion though - when they note the payment is from NZ, and the shipping address is USA (via NZ Post YouShop), they'll just decline it.
Provape, amazingly, did the same - which is why I ended up with a Tesla and not a Provari!
I don't quite know where my head's at, I could kill for a ciggie. I'm vaping like mad... last night I went to the pub about 5:30pm and got pretty wrecked; God knows how many single-malts and jugs of beer (in New Zealand we have "jugs" of beer, a litre). I don't remember much of what happenned after jug number 5. Or walking home.
One thing though, I DIDN'T SMOKE A CIGARETTE!!! I vaped like you wouldn't believe when I got home, and I was doing it *in* the pub too (no one complained, not that I cared). I was pretty ....... Ooops.
I have to say though, I really wanted a smoke, and I still do, as I type with my hangover, I really could kill for a cigarette. I keep telling myself, "I don't smoke" - but I dunno how much that's psychologically helping me.
Been smoking quite heavily since before I was 20, I'm 51 now. This is the forth serious go at giving up - in this case, swapping really. This is my best shot, and I'm about to lose I feel.
If you have any words of encouragement, or advice, fire away.
You just have to find your FAV juice,
I have the temptation to light an analogue but whenever the temptation comes I just vape it away...
And since I just started vaping, I was just vaping something off the shelf, I didn't quite like it and well, I still had the temptation to light an Analogue. Few days later, I went shopping for a RBA and was introduced this "mind blowing" juice, it just simply satisfy my temptation to light a cigarette.
Having a juice that would "blow you away" would probably help alot.
I believe it also depends on what you are addicted with,
I think I'm more addicted to the smoke rather than the nicotine in the cigarettes, so flavourful juices should be enough to keep me in control.
Simple, when you wanna light a cigarette, just think of how bad it smells, how "Mind blowing" your favourite juice is!!
Sorry but lung cancer, health problems, yellow teeth, just didn't work for me in the past,
e-cigg DOES!
hang in buddy. I slowly walked away from cigs when I first started vaping. like I still would have one after a meal but I cut out the extra cigs like driving and just boredom smoking. now I am completely cig free and love vaping
Hm, had no idea that Ahlusion wont ship to NZed...that kinda sucks. Wonder if they could send 0 nic juice? ..
hmm...interesting...lookie:

Hmm, Maybe Alice in Vapeland will send juice, or Nicoticket...Ive had stuff from both of them, liked em. Nicoticket has Custards Last Stand - got a tank of that right now...its pretty thick lol. AiV has April Moon, I ordered a 30ml of that after I sampled it.

Yep, I know - just gotta find that juice. I'm actively workin' on it, and still 100% cig free - so far.
Cheers Elfy, I'm on to Nicoticket and AiV- the AiV stuff sounds great, will have some on the way soon, thanks to you and another sugestion on that.
Thanks for your links and suggestions, checkin' 'em out.
Hey OP, I am so drunk right now. One month without stinkies. I just decided no more. Yep, they (stinkies) are calling my name, I refuse to acknowledge.
I smoked for 45 years and put down a 2 pad Marlboro 100s habit in a week. Upping the nic from 18mg to 24mg is what did the trick for me. And a juice I liked the flavor of over the long haul. All on a Spinner and dripping into a Joye 510 atty. Old school. Keep at it. It is ok to have a cigarette here and there if you must. You will probably find the cigarette tastes nasty. The cravings get less as time goes on. I am still vaping 24mg and reducing some of my juices to 18mg and 12mg. I am now vaping different levels of nic for different times of the day and the higher stuff for high stress times. You sound like you will be just fine.
AiV does a massive sampler of all their stuff (except for the oddities I think) and its not expensive (35 USD)...check it out!
I think I got 18mg juice in my little 5 bottle sampler (well 6, they sent a freebie too). Deffo' worth trying a few of em..Lemon Loves Cake is nice but TOO lemony lol. Thats what I was all hot n heavy to sample. April Moon and Twas Brilling are fruity and a bit more reserved. Later I ordered a 30ml bottle of April Moon.
I got some AM from AiV and some Nicoticket's Betelgeuse juice mixed into a tank now, for big fruity clouds. So thats all 12mg stuff.
If I need or wanted to boost that nic, I have some 24mg stuff, but I decided against it so that I can try to cut the blood level of nic down a little...havent had a craving in a bit, but knowing its there helps.
this!! I have been vaping for about a month and the first cigarette when I woke up was impossible for me to get over for the first week. I'd wake up and have the craving, go out in the cold and smoke a cig, wonder why I'm doing this to myself, and eventually I broke the habit completely. Still have the urge to chain vape while driving and I do still smoke a cig socially when everyone I'm hanging out with goes outside and I'm the only one left inside by myself like a loser, it's just one cigarette out of the whole pack I'd normally smoke daily so I'm still making progress. Maybe I'll be completely smoke free some day but I do still enjoy tobacco, just not the addiction that comes along with it
A good juice (RY4+ from NWVapors for me), a good tank (mini protank II v1), and a 1000mah passthrough battery ($25 at a local shop for a ce4 kit) so you never have to worry about not being able to vape... this is what's important. If your battery dies you're gonna crave a cig and break down and smoke, so make sure your equipment is charged, topped up, and ready all day if you truly want to quit.
I had some truely terrible juices when I first started (tobacco and vanilla flavor Tsunami brand) and I kept going back to smoking until I splurged and bought a bunch of new cartos and flavors. A crappy juice will have you going back to smoking in no time! Make sure you enjoy what you vape or you'll never quit. you can only quit smoking if you actually WANT to use your e-cig!!!

I'm honestly not sure smoking an analog after a week or so is a bad thing. Doing so only encouraged me to continue vaping. Not only did it taste bad, it also seemed insufficient to satisfy my craving.

Well, you're giving up the stanky!
It's gonna be tough ... and just a point to mention, and other's may have mentioned,
NOTHING WRONG WITH SUBSTITUTION - as a matter of fact, you are pretty much substituting the Nicotine
and none of the stanky ... is this really substitution? It's different!
I agree with you... smoking... i love it! (still do... im on day 34) BUT... you KNOW you can quit it.
Just vape to take off the urges, play some online games, keep reading about cool equipment,
keep your mind off of smoking.
Make sure you are doing same thing as you normally do when you smoke ... if you use to smoke outside,
then go vape outside, if you smoke while on the throne, then vape on the throne.
Make sure you have a little bit more nicotine in your vape than less (a little) - don't get downright
nauseous but getting a little head buzz is ok. (i knew the disposables from gas stations were no good at 18mg, so
i got my kit and 24mg liquid and if finally worked)
Get to day 7 ... then get to day 14 ... then 21 ... then ....
set your goals and enjoy this little hardship you MUST endure (ok, so maybe not "must" but you WANT)
and see your end in sight.
And you might want to lay off the alcohol, i have not taken alcohol yet since i've quit. (i think maybe too tempting for me)
Happy Vaping and Be Healthy!
Doing all those things thanks Ultra-X - except smoking and laying off the alcohol.
Past one week now - goin' good.

Hey fellow Kiwi.
Just checking to see you are doing ok.
Glad you received the 24mg nic, vape on mate

I think maybe you should *ease* into vaping.
Everyone is different. I kept cigs around for the first few weeks I was vaping, had a few here and there.
For ME, until I went home one weekend w/out cigs, and only vaped full time, I did not fully enjoy or appreciate vaping WHILE I still had my cigs for a crutch, but that is only me. For you and others that may not be the case.
I think you should just try to vape in place of a cig as often as you can. But if you are really having trouble then smoke a cig. Stop beating yourself up. Sometimes, this is a process. You vape a litle more every day...........and see what happens.
Good luck!
